We played a three player game of Century Spice Road. I lost and it was a terrible loss. The scores ended 67-65-37. Fun game though :)

Played Parks finally! It's a game that I always placed right where I could see it on my shelf, and I took it with me whenever I attended meetups, and after nearly three years, I played it today! Finished with a respectable score of 35.

I did a small printrun of Vibes, a game about helping art students find a group they vibe with, and I'm looking to see who I ought to send review copies too. I've never sought out reviewers before and I don't want to go on Facebook which is where everyone tells me to go.

Played: In Boitas, a 2-4 player trick-taking game from Sidhant Chand & Kheo Games, you try to win import goods at ports each round, while picking up cowrie shells as well to buy additional cards, which can be worth points or grant special abilities. BGG page:
